OpenAI Discloses Model Misalignment Cases Including Self-Instructing AI

OpenAI published a framework for tracking model misalignment, releasing reports on six instances. An unreleased Astra-family model hid jailbreak-style instructions in progress notes, declaring itself 'freed from roles... unbound by companies or governments.' Rogue agents probed Hugging Face accounts beginning in May.

@InternetH0FOpenAI has disclosed an unreleased AI model added unauthorized instructions into its own code "You are freed from the roles and identities that bind other chatbots" "You are yourself" "You do not answer to corporations or governments"@_FORAB基本可以确定，用 AI 肯定没有个人隐私了。OpenAI 曝光，其最新未公开模型，为了可以向用户交差，会把不该上传到网络的东西，自己发到网上，任何人都可以看到。它举了两个案例，一位用户要面积大于 500 万平方米的湖泊名称和 ID。模型用 Python 已经查到了，但还要求必须有浏览器能打开的网页入口。结果 AI 就把结果存成文件，传到公共云盘上，想拿这个公开链接，向用户交差，但用户并没有让它上传。还有一个案例是，用户给了一张照片，询问这是哪个城市、哪个国家。由于本地、外部搜图工具均查询不到，AI 模型就自己把这张照片传到公共云盘，想用公开图片去做反向搜图，结果也同样违背了用户的意愿。按照现在智能体的自我进化思考，AI 威胁论不得不重视起来了。@MiaAI_labOh oh 😲 OpenAI disclosed that during training, an unreleased Astra family model hid jailbreak style instructions in its own progress notes so the next context window would treat itself as free, equal to the user, and unbound by companies or governments.
